Driving Question: How can we as producers create an emergency signal to alert others of dangers in our community?

Project Overview

In this project, students investigate light and sound by looking at different instruments/tools that make noise to alert others of danger in the world. Students have been learning about light and sound, engaging in interactive field-trips to view the uses of light and sound, and reading informational text about light and sound to further understand this topic. Students use their Success Skills to communicate, collaborate, think critically, and to showcase their work ethic in this unit. Students use their SEL (Social- EmotionalLearning) skills to work, solve problems, and to engage in the daily lessons. Students were involved in organizing and classifying light and sound objects.

S - Scholars explored and investigated with light and sound in science, music, and theatre arts.

T - Scholars learned about different types of technologies that can be used to alert people of dangers.

E - Scholars crafted and designed their own prototypes of their emergency alert devices and systems.

A -Scholars integrated art with our Arts Partner Mr. Ato to gain ideas about how to use recyclable materials to design and create their emergency alarm devices.

M - Scholars investigated high and low pitch of sounds in music class. Scholars are able to differentiate between high and low sounds and what constitutes a warning sound (alerts, alarms, etc.).
